In all his time as a mailman, Natsu had never been nervous to deliver mail. It was a simple task, really. Just walk up to the mailbox and slip the envelopes or packages in and move on. Problem was, this particular receiver had a habit of appearing before he could leave and starting a conversation with him. Now, Natsu didn't have a problem talking to her, or anybody for honestly, but this woman was just so beautiful that he found himself a bumbling mess when she spoke.

Lucy, as he had come to learn was her name, was probably the most attractive woman he had ever seen. Her bright blonde hair seemed to radiate sunshine, her warm chocolate-brown eyes held so much warmth and affection that he felt safe. Honestly, her whole aura just screamed safe and peaceful. And her body. Natsu blushed just thinking about it, much less seeing it (he might be awkward around women, but by God he knew sexy when he saw it). Her neck was slender, the graceful curve it that transitioned into her perfectly-sized shoulders was his most innocent observation. From her shoulders, which were usually only covered by spaghetti straps much thinner than her bra strap, his eyes would always wander down to her breasts. Her tank tops did very little to hid her full bosom. His palms itched to feel them in his hands. When he finally tore his gaze away from her breasts, always hoping she hadn't noticed his staring, he traveled down her slender waist to her surprisingly wide hips. She had a serious hourglass figure going on, he thought. Not that he minded, of course, her hips were just wide enough to be attractive. He wondered what it would feel like to grab those luscious hips and bring her flush against his own body. Okay! Stop right there, you pervert! She's just a regular citizen that I deliver mail to! You don't even know her!

"Natsu?" Her soft, sing-song voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked back into those beautiful brown eyes of hers, hoping he hadn't starting drooling. "Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah! Of course!" He winced. His voice seemed to raise a few octaves and came out louder than he intended. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, you kind of zoned out. I just wondered if there was something going on," she said, her held tilted to the side slightly.

"Nope! I'm good!" Natsu was flustered. He needed to get out of there soon, like now, before he embarrassed himself even more. "See you tomorrow, Lucy!"

Lucy watched, amused, as her mailman turned and practically ran away from her house. She wasn't going to tell Natsu that she knew just where he was staring when he "zoned out." It was obvious he was looking all over her body. His black eyes were wide, filled with wonder and attraction. She wouldn't call it lust just yet, but he was definitely on his way there. It wasn't a coincidence that Lucy always wore tight tank tops and form fitting athletic leggings to grab her mail from him. She smiled mischievously as she turned and walked back into her house. Maybe one day, her favorite pink haired, attractive in more ways than one, would gather the courage to ask her on a date. And she really couldn't wait for that day to come, but she would reel in her excitement until he was ready.

Y'all, I'm so petty that I almost feel like a major cunt with this. But, I can't deny that this was fun to write. My friend suggested I write a mailman AU as a joke when a negative reviewer on my Bixlu story used "mail" instead of "male." Honestly, I didn't even pay attention to the fact that English might not be their first language - which I 100% do not mind, I always encourage reviewers to leave me something, language barrier be damned. But, I couldn't stop myself from writing a little mailman!Natsu drabble (is that what this is? Idfk I don't usually write anything this short). Anyway! Here it is, my very first dip of my toes in the waters of Nalu.

Warm regards,
